You live in the Rose City, it was only a matter of time before it got to you. As for me, I'm just sad that I passed level 10. Myrmidon is pretty much the coolest word in the History of Ever. Still, I suppose I have Grandmaster of Flowers to look forward to.

How could you see it? You don't exist.

I don't use alignment mechanics. I don't like them. This would almost free my table of alignment arguments, but I do want players not to be evil, which last session resulted in an argument from one about how mutilating a prisoner was just him playing his character as Chaotic Neutral(they...

The highest I've gotten to starting at level 1 is 9. But I've played a few games where started at higher level. If we expand it to video games, I hit about 9200 in Disgaea.

Yes and no. 4e has a bunch of classes, but each of those classes has builds that can take it in different directions and even if two classes are both the same role, they tend to fill it in different ways. A Tempest Fighter and a Polearm Fighter are going to play out quite differently, and...

Well, I'm agnostic, so I'll be sacrificing 3 virgins, 3 whores, 3 fish and 3 bulls all to Agnostia, that he might recover swiftly.

Exactly. It's almost as if an aspiring adventurer should just wander in a random direction until the treasure falls into his lap. I'm not assuming the cutting device is easily attainable either, just that it is attainable. There don't have to be adamantine cutters at every corner store...

I don't use wandering monsters in 4e, either, but if I did, here's how I'd do it. I'd go ahead and let it be one encounter, even if that meant the encounter was a single big one for the day, or even a single easy one for the day that the party blows through. No, it isn't necessarily an...

True, I was more pointing out that anyone thinking it was a troll has a basis for doing so, and isn't just misremembering. Still, the real disconnect with the magic items in LotR, to me, is that the Fellowship consists of an elven prince, a highborn dwarf, a lost king, the prince(basically) of...

Satoshi's are on there. Look near the top of his sheet, by the background and theme.

For what it's worth, in the movies, it was totally a troll. troll

NPC: "So tell me, mortals, why should I allow you to take this demonic artifact? What are your intentions?" Player 1: "We aim to destroy it, that it may hurt no one ever again." Player 2: "My intentions? Vengeance!!!!!!"

I'd say that's about right.

I take the mechanical one, unless it's a bigger chunk of flavor than most feats offer(like a heritage feat, a dragonmark or a multiclass). Otherwise, I'm perfectly comfortable just roleplaying the flavor. If I already have nature trained, for example, and maybe even a background bonus there...

Some people are just sayin', and some are just saying, but I am just saiyan.

Much like Grydan, I design my characters with the Epic and Paragon tiers in mind, but rarely actually arrive at such a destination.

I think it is. Casters that know it might not be everywhere, but neither are iron mines. Casters that did know it have every reason to set up a facility for processing it, which would result in usable iron at a lower cost than mining, since miners have to be paid. Sure, 9th level magicians...

One thing I've noticed as a big difference in leveling speed is quest experience and the way you handle encounter experience. The slower group I mentioned, we only got experience for enemies killed. If they fled, or were reasoned with, or anything that involved encountering them and them...

Well, it's a terrible sacrifice, but for the sake of the group, I'm willing to be more effective at stuff. [/martyr]

This could make it easier, as well as harder. Harder because they're griping, but easier because it means they probably don't know the rules either. 3.5 and 4 are different games, mechanically speaking, so their expertise in one isn't necessarily going to highlight your lack of expertise in...
